Day9 vs Toyonoshima (Tech-Exam 2011 May)

Day9

Baruto(7-1) has Komusubi Toyonoshima(1-7).

Toyonoshima is loosing his sumo style in this tournament.

Baruto has passed 8 wins line.

Rushing forward steps work was good.

As I mentioned many times,Baruto tends to step like walking.

But Sumo step work should not make souls apart from ground.

Baruto steps work this tournament is like Sumo steps work(="suri-ashi")

And final pushing by his belly was very effective not to be counter-attacked at the edge of the ring.

Day13 vs Kisenosato (Hatsu-Basho 2011 Jan)

大相撲　初場所　第１３日目
Grand Sumo Tournament Hatsu-Basho Day13.

East-Sekiwake Kisenosato has marked 8wins.

8 wins included win from Yokozuna Hakuho.

Our West-Ozeki Baruto has already 4 loses.

The point was Baruto got right outside grip.

If he could not get it,he would get Kisenosato's "Sukui_Nage" on the edge of ring.

Today's Baruto pushed well and start position was really good.

Waist position was still high, but Kisenosato's waist position was also high.

Rushing power with right outside grip was very effective.

Tomorrow Baruto has Yokozuna Hakuho.

It is impossible for Baruto to get Emperor Cup in this tournament.

Baruto's aim is to be next Yokozuna.

So 2 more wins (including win to Yokozuna) are needed.

E-S_Kisenosato_vs_W-O_Baruto_Day13_2011Jan

9 wins 4 loses.

1 loser:Hakuho

2 loser:Okinoumi

3 loser:Kotoshogiku.

If Okinoumi has lose tomorrow and Hakuho wins,Hakauho gets championship of this tournament.

Day3 vs Aminishiki (Kyushu-Basho 2010 Nov)

Grand Sumo Tournament Kyushu-Basho Day3.

Baruto has Maegashira #2 Aminishiki today.

Aminishiki beat Ozeki Kotooshu yesterday.

Aminishi 5 wins and Baruto 8 wins are past results.

Perfect win.
Baruto started with still high position.
But I think his starting is getting better.

Ozeki BARUTO ○(TSURIDASHI)× AMINISHIKI Maegashira #2

3 wins no loses.

Come on,Baruto!
***************************************************************************

Yesterday's hero Kisenosato Maegashira top beat Ozeki Harumafuji completely.

Harumafuji has not gotten first win in this tournament.

Hakuho has started from today onwards.

Kotoshogiku could not di anythng.

Day5 vs Wakanosato (Haru-Basho 2010 Mar)

Today's opponent Wakanosato is ranked Maegashira #1.

He could not get wins in this tournament at all.

Baruto started with pushing.

Wakanosato once "Inasu"(=turn aside) Baruto pushing and Baruto lost his balance.

Wakansato quickly chased Baruto to push　

But Baruto today regained his footing more quickly than Wakanosato.

Baruto succeeded in re-attacking Wakanosato.

Every opponent considers bout strategy.

I think Wakanosato had decided to do "INASHI"

This tournament Baruto has finger injury so he mainly choose pushing start.

Wakanosato were watching for a chance to take advantage by "INASHI".

Every bout has a a big meaning for Baruto.

Let's keep on concentrating on every bout.

We Baruto fans are fighting with you,Baruto!

sekiwake BARUTO ○(YORITAOSHI)× WAKANOSATO maegashira#1

Day9 vs Kotooshu (Hatsu-Basho 2010 Jan)

Grand Sumo Tournament Day9 has a Big European Guys Bout.

BARUTO vs KOTOOSHU

Ozeki Kotooshu from Bulgaria has marked 7 wins.

Our Baruto also has reached to 7 wins.

Winner this bout can reach to 8 wins.

It means "KACHIKOSHI"(=over 8 wins) and surviver for Emperor's trophy.

******Click to YouTubeHD

I think today's bout is Baruto's best one in his career.

Excellent starting.

Left arm position killed Koto's right arm by "OTTUKE"(=tightening opponent arm).

Head attached to Koto's breast made Koto's body upward.

Stepping forward with pulling belt was perfect.

All skills are very excellent.

In the interview, Baruo was asked

"You can get "Yousho"(=victory of this tournament champion trophy), can't you?"

Baruto answered

"it is very long way from now. I should concentrate on every bout"

"I have tense because I am human (laughing voice by surrounders ,,,hahahha)"

sekiwake BARUTO ○(YORITAOSHI)× KOTOOSHU ozeki

8 wins 1 lose.

KACHIKOSHI,GET!

Baruo has already beaten 1 yokozuna,4 ozekis!

Only yokozuna Asashoryu is rest among upper rankers.

Tomorrow opponent is Toyonoshima.

And the rest opponents candidates are Aminishiki,Tochinoshin,Goeido,Miyabiyama.

I think the key bouts are vs Asashoryu, vs Aminishiki,vs Goeido.

Asa has never allowed Baruto to win.

Aminishiki keeps his style in this tournament,

Goeido is becoming in excellent condition.

To promote to ozeki, Baruto should get 14 wins or over 12 wins with trophy as I wrote in the begging of this tournament.

But even if Baruto does not get trophy,if he get 13 wins or over 12 wins including win for Asashoryu,the possibility to promote to ozeki rank becomes realistic.

Big chance is coming to Baruto now.

Anyway We know who is the best ! It is BARUTO!

Go,Baruto,Go!!!!
